1 Ton Lumber Truck
This is one of the last seven Flivver size vehicles we will be creating. This one is a lumber truck, 16" long (including the load of lumber). Photos show this piece from several angles. The top of the cab has been coated with a wrinkle finish to simulate the fabric top a real truck from that time period would have had. We will only make six more vehicles, all different, of this size. None of the last six will be a lumber truck. The last two photos show how the unloading crank folds. The lumber truck has been sold.
1 Ton Gilmore Oil Company Tank Truck
One of the most recent pieces is a 15 inch long 1 ton Gilmore Oil Company tank truck. It has a divided windshield, dual wheels, headlights and cowl lights, making it look more like a big truck. Photos show this piece from several angles. The top of the cab has been coated with a wrinkle finish to simulate the fabric top a real truck from that time period would have had. We will only make seven more vehicles, all different, of this size. None of the last seven will be a tank truck. We have only 28 wheels left so no more of the last vehicles will have dual wheels. The Gilmore truck has been sold.
Twin Coach Helms Bakery Truck
We only made 12 of these neat trucks. They measure 13 inches in length by 7-1/2 inches tall. Each one has a serial number stamped in the bottom. The last Helms Bakery truck has been sold.
1920s Life Saver Advertising Truck
This truck is based on a vintage photo showing a real truck used in the 1920s to promote Life Saver candy. This piece is 17 inches long and a little over 7 inches high. There were only six of these made. Each one has a serial number stamped into the bottom. The last LifeSaver truck has been sold.
1920s House Car
This piece was part of an exhibit in an art museum. It was selected to be part of an international juried show called Toys Designed by Artists at the Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock. The house car is about 23" long and 12" tall. The interior is equipped with features such as bunk beds, stove, booth, and many other details. The House Car has been sold.
Gypsy Fortune Teller's Truck & Caravan
This colorful truck and caravan measure approximately 30" in length when they're hitched together. Separately, the caravan is about 12" long and the truck is about 13" long. The bed of the truck is filled with trunks, luggage, and other items. The top lifts off the caravan to reveal a detailed interior with bed, sink, mirror, table, chair, stove, cupboard, and even a tiny crystal ball. Truck & Caravan are sold.
City Dray Truck
This truck literally screams Vintage Workhorse. At nearly 15" in length and over 8" in height, it's larger than many of the other early trucks we've done. The full height tailgate drops down to become a loading ramp. There were only six serial numbered pieces made. Hood, fenders, and chassis are done in black, bodies were painted dark blue and dark green. All of the City Dray trucks have been sold.
